There are errors to clean up with the book The Monster of Elendhaven by Jennifer Giesbrecht.

1. Hardcover: The Monster of Elendhaven (ISBN 9781250225689)

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:

Jennifer Giesbrecht paints a darkly compelling fantasy of revenge in The Monster of Elendhaven, a tale about murder, a monster, and the sorcerer who loves both.

The city of Elendhaven sulks on the edge of the ocean, racked by plague, abandoned by the South, stripped of industry, and left to die. But not everything dies so easily. A thing without a name stalks the city, a thing shaped like a man, with a dark heart and long pale fingers yearning to wrap around throats. A monster who cannot die.

His frail master sends him out on errands, twisting him with magic, crafting a plan too cruel to name, while the monster’s heart grows fonder and colder and more cunning. The sorcerer’s work is subtle, changing minds and curdling hearts with barely a trace left behind. But there are signs to read for magic hunters coming up from the capital in the South.

These monsters of Elendhaven will have their revenge on everyone who wronged the city, even if they have to burn the world to do it.

The city isn’t the only thing fighting against demise; lurking in the shadows dwells a monster. With a soul as icy as it is cunning, it weaves itself around throats, immune from the grip of death. A puppet to its fragile master who sends it on perilous errands, it becomes a weapon in a scheme too monstrous to name. As the bond between the master and the monster tightens, a catastrophic revenge plan is formed.

A week has passed, so I'm bumping the thread.

Another bump.

Bumping.
